Rob Mason is a British sim-racer who currently drives for Cosmo Autosport in the 2014 World Sport Series season, as well as driving for YTF1 in the 2014 International Touring Cup season as their primary driver, and in the 2014 Formula Challenge season as a reserve.

Early Sim-Racing Career

Mason started sim-racing in 2008 at the now defunct Syncro Racing with mixed success, but wrapping up two championships in the Audi R8 Cup and the Lotus Cortina series. Following a sabbatical from sim-racing while concentrating on studies, Mason returned to touring car racing at WSVR in 2013. Following the sabbatical, Mason has returned a better driver taken more race wins and poles than before. 2014 saw a shift in focus to take in a broader range of series, which lead to the start of a career at GPVWC.

World Sports Series

2014

Mason was snapped up by Cosmo Autosport for the 2014 World Sport Series season to make his debut at GPVWC alongside Cameron Brewster. A mixed season followed with points few and far between, with Rob consistently being just outside the points. The contribution alongside Brewster did help Cosmo achieve 9th Place in the Teams Championship.

International Touring Cup

2014

The series that could of marked Mason as a force in touring cars with YTF1 at GPVWC was marred by business commitments resulting in missed races. Some flashes of speed belied general inexperience in the cars. A low points haul marked a disappointing season.

Formula Challenge

2014

Off the back of the ITC drive with YTF1, Mason took up a reserve driver role with the team. This resulted in a surprising number of appearances, and despite a marked improvement as the year progressed presented few points scoring opportunities.

Open Series

2014

A debut at Sepang showed an initial lack of speed in these open wheel cars, but steady work saw Mason improve. The highlight of the year was a pole to flag victory at Monaco. Brief appearances yielded average results before a further pole followed at Brazil but the race was red flagged at half distance.
